More details to this question:
I live in Texas, my ex wife gave birth to a girl in Massachusetts, I was named as the father on the birth certificate because we were still married at the time, I am not her biological father. Since then we had gotten back together and i have been raising the child as my own, Now we are seperated again. We all live in Texas now, my question is, being listed as the father on the birth certificate, do I have any legal rights to visitation or anything like that.

If the child was born during the marriage, you are the presumed father. You have the same rights as the mother does concerning the child. You can petition the court for a possession schedule. You are likely the only father the child has known. How old is the child?
